Anyone Had This Problem With Their Dog?

Alan — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 07:31:30 +0000

I have a 11 year old beagle/mut mix! He’s always been in good health other than being a little overweight. He’s recently had some type of “tumor” pop up on his ear and tongue! The one on his ear is very red and seems to be warm. Now–the heat could be because his ears are heavy! He had some tumors removed off of his chest when he was younger and they came back non-cancerous. My dad says they look alot like warts to him. The one on his tongue is flat–a little raised–and isn’t really red or anything. However, I’ve noticed him licking alot as if it were bothering him. His ears looks bad. Anyone had to deal with this?
He’s the love of my life–and I’m truely worried.

Peta Invaded The Westminster Dog Show?

so lol you think ppl are going to believe nuts that do this stuff? and all the lies PETA blabs about dogs shows?
the show ring and other events are something for a dog to do it keeps their mind stimulated and they arent left looking at the fly on the wall all day like some dogs that have no activities.
and as a thought here:
im sure there are good and bad breeders of show dogs but why blame purebreds as a whole? sounds to much like a certain user on YA. mutts aka “mixed breeds” or “designer hybrids” arent there because they dont have a standard. there is a way an akita is suppose to look there is a way a bulldog should look there is a way a lab should look thats a standard based on phenotype yes but breed to mix breeds and you get something truly random you couldnt have counted on. and as my vet says a mix doesnt lessen the chances of health problems it CAN drastically increase them. a good breeder of purebred dogs breeds to decrease chances of inherited defects and to maintain the standard the breed was made to have. a bad breeder of purebreds breeds for just the looks and not the health of the dog and sometimes even the looks arent correct for the breed.
your thoughts on the actions thus far of PETA and those that believe purebreds are mutants?
if they are mind you theres are two since many carry characteristics of both parents only way they are going to get a dog that isnt “deformed” is to go back in time and find the worlds first domestic dog (Warra, may have spelled incorrectly) even wolves have evolved the Direwolf no longer exists after all.
Peta thinks evolution and selective breeding is mutation.

Is It Just Me Or Is This The Craziest Thing Ever? Anyone Else Received Equally Daft Answers To Questions?

Alan — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:20:47 +0000

(see my previous question for more info)… I posted a question earlier today regarding peoples opinions on karma, as I’m having a pretty bad time of it lately with depression and also some physical health problems.
Now for the crazy part! – I mentioned that the family pets have been quite ill and I received an answer that the pets may be passing their illnesses onto myself via their saliva!!! The dog has a serious prostate problem (I’m pretty sure as a female, I don’t actually have one of those!)
Anyone else heard anything so daft? Or had equally daft answers to their questions?

Dog Kibble?

Alan — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 07:26:20 +0000

My family is currently owned by 3 dogs- a 2 year old Chihuahua mix, a 4 year old Bichon Frise/Yorkie mix, and a 7 year old Bichon Frise. We feed them Kibbles N’ Bits, and always have. It just occurred to me recently that the food we feed is probably not the best. Since my dogs are getting elderly, especially the Bichon Frise, I think it’s time that we start feeding them a better quality dog food to prevent future health problems. I’ve heard mixed reviews and Purina dog food, but I also saw an advertisement today for Pedigree dog food that said they would donate a sum of their profits to an animal shelter.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what kind of kibble I should be feeding my dogs, or what kind of food (that’s not overly expensive) is the best quality, but can also be found at pet stores? I would prefer that it’s main ingredient is a meaty substance, NOT CORNMEAL!
Thanks!

Do Antibiotics Cause Long-term Health Effects In A Dog?

Alan — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 01:19:57 +0000

My dog had an infection from getting neutered. It was very bad. He had to be on strong antibiotics for 10 days in the middle of March. Now he had an allergic reaction to the meds given for a hurt leg and chewed his paws. One of his paws became an open sore and infected. So now he has to be on antibiotics again. So a month later, another 10 days of antibiotics. Does this do long-term damage? Or do the intestines repair themselves quickly? He is three years old. Only 15 lbs. If I give him yogurt will it help reverse what the antibiotics are doing to his intestines? (he has had yogurt before, he likes it and digest it well..that is not a problem) But does it help?

What’s The Best Dog To Get?

Alan — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 19:25:26 +0000

I have worked with animals a lot and I have my own opinion on this, but I’d like input from some other people. We are considering getting a dog. I have always gotten shelter pets and generally prefer mixed breeds for health and personality issues, so I’d also like to know what breed mix might be best. Here’s what the ideal dog would be: small to medium sized dog with a big dog personality, great with kids and other pets, very trainable, playful and active, but not hyper, a breed that doesn’t have a history of health problems.

What Caused The Dog’s Death?

Alan — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 13:19:05 +0000

MY COUSIN HAS HAD HER CHIHUAHUA FOR 8 YEARS. THE DOG HAS NEVER HAD ANY HEALTH PROBLEMS. THEN ON SATURDAY THE DOG STARTED SCRATCHING REALLY BAD. MY COUSIN GAVE HER A BATH THINKING SHE HAD GOTTEN INTO SOMETHING IN THE GRASS THAT WAS IRRITATING HER. THE BATH DID NOT HELP. ON SUNDAY WHEN SHE WOKE UP THE DOG WAS LITERALLY PANTING FROM WEARING HER SELF OUT SCRATCHING SO BAD. WHEN MY COUSIN RETURNED HOME FROM CHURCH THE DOG WAS DEAD. THE ONLY SYMPTOM WAS HER SCRATCHING. CAN YOU GIVE ANY ADVICE AS TO WHAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THIS?
THANK YOU
